Hi all.
I just acquired a free Bayliner 2755. It has the 351w in it, which I understand is about a 255hp engine. This project is for personal challenge and a labor of love. Cost is a factor, and time is about a 18 month plan.
The boat had a OMC Cobra drive on it, which was stolen off of the boat. I haven't ever dealt with OMC anything before. I am familiar with 351s, but only in automotive applications.
Now, all that being said, I have a Bravo III in my basement that I picked up "for future use" a while back. Is there any way to mate a B3 to a 351w?
I do have the full Bravo transom shield assembly.
I just can't find if there is an adapter plate to couple the engine to it.
Relevant information: the condition of the engine is unknown. On removal from the boat, the engine health will be assessed. If the engine is deemed too poor of poor condition, a SBC will be installed, rendering the question moot.
But, given my fondness for the 351 and Bravo IIIs, I'd like to see if there is a reasonable way to have both. No, I am not new to boating. I have had 7 previous boats over the last 24 years.
And I'm not trolling anyone.
Note: yes, I am aware that SEI has an adapter to make the Alpha-clone bolt up. However, that mod doesn't appear to work with a Bravo-anything.
Thanks for reading and providing helpful answers.
Please; no snarky responses. Thanks.
